Unlock a world of creative possibilities with the Novation Launchkey 61 MK3 keyboard controller. This powerful MIDI controller provides an intuitive and inspiring experience for performing with Ableton Live and external MIDI gear. With its 61 semi-weighted keys, versatile Scale and Chord Modes, and deep Ableton integration, the Launchkey 61 MK3 is an ideal centerpiece for any modern music production setup. This bundle also includes a padded gig bag to protect your controller when you're on the move.

Expressive 61-Key Keyboard With Semi-Weighted Action

The Launchkey 61 MK3 features a premium 61-key keyboard with semi-weighted keys that provide a responsive, piano-like feel. The keys are velocity sensitive, allowing you to capture every nuance of your performance. Whether you're laying down chords, playing intricate melodies or triggering clips, the natural key action ensures your playing translates fluidly into the digital realm. With its full-size keybed, the Launchkey 61 MK3 offers the range and feel you need for everything from songwriting to live shows.

Unlock New Melodies and Harmonies With Scale and Chord Modes

One of the standout features of the Launchkey 61 MK3 is its powerful Scale and Chord Modes. Scale Modes automatically map the keys and pads to the notes of your chosen scale, making it easy to explore new melodic ideas without hitting any wrong notes. Chord Modes, meanwhile, allow every note you play to form a harmonically linked chord—perfect for adding lush pads, strummed rhythms and more. With eight different Scale Modes and three Chord Modes available, the creative possibilities are limitless.

Seamless Integration With Ableton Live

Designed in close collaboration with Ableton, the Launchkey 61 MK3 provides deep, intuitive integration with Live for a fluid workflow. The pads give you hands-on control over clip launching, while the transport controls let you start, stop, record and loop without reaching for the mouse. You can even map the keyboard's faders, knobs and buttons to control your software's parameters for tweaking sounds and mixing as you perform. Whether you're producing in the studio or playing live, the Launchkey 61 MK3 is the perfect partner for Ableton Live.

Includes a Protective Gig Bag for Portable Production

To keep your Launchkey 61 MK3 safe while on the move, this bundle includes a padded Novation gig bag designed specifically for the controller. The durable outer shell and internal padding provide reliable protection against bumps, scratches and impacts. With the included bag, you can take your music-making setup to rehearsals, performances and even on tour with peace of mind, knowing your Launchkey is secure.

For musicians, producers and performers looking to spark their creativity, the Novation Launchkey 61 MK3 keyboard controller is an inspiring centerpiece. With its premium semi-weighted keybed, innovative Scale and Chord Modes, and deep Ableton Live integration, it provides all the tools you need to unlock new musical ideas. Pair it with the included gig bag and take your musical vision anywhere.
